Brother
Martin's Jabbar Singleton could have gone on to play either football or
basketball in college but ultimately the decision came down to what sport he
loved the most.

That sport
was basketball.

Singleton
was in Tulsa, Okla. on Friday where he delivered a verbal commitment to Oral
Roberts coaches. He chose the Golden Eagles over UNO and also over football
offers from Florida International and Grambling.

"I figured
out during the basketball season that this was the sport that I wanted to keep
playing," Singleton said. "Basketball is the sport that I love the most. I just
felt like this is what I wanted to do in college."

Singleton
helped lead Brother Martin to a 29-7 mark and scored 21 points in the
Crusaders' quarterfinals defeat to East Ascension. Singleton, who is 6-feet,
was also named to the All-District 9-5A team in both basketball and football in
his senior season.

"The visit
was real cool," Singleton said. "I just felt like I was at home and I was just
real comfortable. The coaching staff really welcomed me like I was one of their
own."

Singleton
will be able to officially sign his national letter of intent with Oral Roberts
on April 17, the beginning of the regular signing period for the NCAA.
